The Episcopal Diocese of Utah presents...
The 2025 Worship Vitality Conference & Retreat
with Milner Seifert
Celebrate and Plan the Liturgical Year with Creativity & Community
August 25–29 | Episcopal Retreat & Conference Center
Come away for a few days of renewal, inspiration, and planning as we gather for the Worship Vitality Conference and Retreat. Through prayerful worship, creative collaboration, and restful reflection, we’ll explore how to bring greater vibrancy and depth to our liturgical life from Advent through Pentecost.
Whether you’re a clergy member, musician, liturgist, or lay leader, this is a space to recharge your spirit and reimagine the rhythms of worship in community.
What to Expect
Look forward to faith-filled conversations, inspiring worship, and Eucharists led by local clergy and The Rt. Rev. Phyllis Spiegel, 12th Bishop of Utah. Bishop Spiegel, originally from Virginia and now in her third year of episcopal ministry in Utah, brings deep insight and a passion for nurturing vibrant faith communities.
Together we’ll explore how our diocese and yours aims to grow, reflect on its identity, and chart a faithful path forward. We’ll share stories of how we’re placing greater emphasis on embodied faith: living out the Gospel through community action and spiritual evangelism. Learn how we’re breaking down barriers both in our neighborhoods and among our congregations, becoming one people, and one church, under God.
Visiting the Diocese of Utah
The Diocese of Utah stands at the crossroads of tradition and vibrant diversity. Here our Episcopal community thrives alongside a remarkable mix of faiths, engaging in dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared spirit of curiosity. Our ministries are shaped by the rugged beauty, the diversity of both people and landscapes, that surrounds us.
Salt Lake City is a place where the sacred meets the sublime. The Wasatch Mountains jut upward thousands of feet just beyond our downtown, offering winding trails, tranquil alpine lakes, and expansive vistas that invite both prayerful reflection and spirited adventure. Nature’s lies just minutes from the city, while modern amenities, public transit, and a well-connected airport make it easy for pilgrims and visitors alike to feel at home.
Whether you’re seeking deeper connection, creative inspiration, or the quiet peace of stillness, the Diocese of Utah invites you to discover how God’s Spirit moves here: in our worship, our wilderness, and our welcoming hearts.
The Episcopal Diocese of Utah is located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, serving as a center for worship, community engagement, and diocesan ministry.
Utah’s Wasatch Mountains rise just beyond the city, offering stunning beauty and countless opportunities for reflection, recreation, and spiritual renewal.
